The Toronto Dog Festival is another event that is not the one to be missed. Held annually in Woodbine Park, this festival is ideal for spending a fun-filled weekend with your dog with tons of activities, competitions, and food trucks. The big feature is the dock diving competition, in which dogs compete in a lengthy jump into a pool of water.


Another attraction of this festival is the marketplace featuring regional pet brands and services. Whether your dog enjoys competing or prefers to relax in style, this festival offers something for every pup.
